Throughout the entire day, Ye Yunqi couldn't shake off the melancholic mood that had enveloped her.
Although she had initially entered the classroom with her usual composed and confident expression, engaging in cheerful conversations with Lin Ling, Ye Fei, who understood her the best, could see through her forced smiles.
Ye Fei was equally at a loss, grappling with his own sense of melancholy. Especially when facing Lin Ling, he felt a twinge of guilt. He had always regarded Lin Ling as his wife since childhood. While this sentiment hadn't changed, there were now one or perhaps two more people in his heart, making him feel somewhat sorry for Lin Ling, who had always been devoted to him. However, these feelings were beyond his control. Thus, he could only try to compensate for it with more affection towards Lin Ling.
After dinner, Ye Yunqi led Ye Fei upstairs, but instead of heading to the study room, she went straight into Ye Fei's bedroom. After locking the door, she pulled Ye Fei onto the bed.
Ye Fei, who had already experienced the pleasures of being with Ye Yunqi, didn't feel much excitement in these playful antics. However, he didn't want to dismiss Ye Yunqi, so he went along with her passionately.
Today, Ye Yunqi seemed a bit wild. Once she had Ye Fei in her grasp, she didn't stop moving. Even when reaching the peak, she only took a brief rest before continuing. By the end, neither could keep count of how many times they had come together.
Exhausted of all strength, Ye Yunqi collapsed on top of Ye Fei, her voice soft as she began to sob.
Startled, Ye Fei asked, "Yunqi, what's wrong?"
"Brother, I don't want to be apart from you," Ye Yunqi tearfully said, "Promise me, never leave me, okay?"
"Okay." Ye Fei nodded vigorously. "We came into this world together, destined to be together forever."
Ye Yunqi seemed to believe Ye Fei's words, a sweet smile gracing her lips as she quickly fell asleep. However, Ye Fei couldn't find rest.
Although Ye Yunqi had reached climax numerous times, he hadn't even once. More importantly, while he had promised Ye Yunqi, it was merely to comfort her. The idea of never parting sounded easy, but could he truly uphold it?
The more he thought, the more restless he felt. Ye Fei sat up, gazing at the peacefully sleeping Ye Yunqi. Tenderness filled his heart as he lightly kissed her cheek, then quietly got out of bed, got dressed, and leaped out of the window. The turmoil within him needed an outlet, reminding him of the exhilaration he felt when he first gained power.
Bounding out of the courtyard, Ye Fei sprinted, realizing that in just over two days, his speed had reached a new height, nearly double what it had been before.
This time, instead of heading towards the outskirts of the city, Ye Fei ran towards the direction of the Watchtower. Despite its name, "Watchtower City" wasn't particularly close to the sea.
The name stemmed from the Watchtower itself, the tallest man-made structure in the world. It was said that when it was first built, the ruler of the Dragon Kingdom had come to inspect it, and from the top, one could see the sea hundreds of miles away, hence the name "Watchtower."
Standing before the Watchtower, Ye Fei gazed up at the towering structure, a crazy idea forming in his mind. He wanted to jump to the top of the tower.
Initially coming here on impulse, as his aunt Liu Fengyi usually resided at the Watchtower, he subconsciously sought comfort from someone. However, now he didn't want to seek solace from Liu Fengyi, as this matter was something he couldn't share with her either, adding to his inner turmoil. This led to the birth of this crazy notion.
When Ye Fei acted on impulse, he didn't even consider the feasibility of his thoughts. His legs filled with strength, he leaped upwards forcefully, his body resembling a bullet with a sharp explosion as he shot straight up.
When the upward momentum waned, Ye Fei found himself over a hundred meters high, a discovery that nearly made him bite his own tongue in astonishment. However, now his body began to fall, so he paid no heed, finding a protruding balcony to step on and spring up once more.
Standing at the top of the Watchtower, Ye Fei couldn't believe what he had accomplished. This was the towering Watchtower, over five hundred meters high, yet he had reached the top with just five leaps of strength. This exceeded his comprehension entirely.
Even the best martial artist from the Liu family, Liu Junyi, could only jump seven to eight meters high with full lightness skill, but he had managed over a hundred meters. Was this still within the realm of what a human could do?
The extreme surprise actually calmed Ye Fei. In this moment, he gained a new understanding of his own strength. Overlooking the entire city from the tower top, a feeling of "I have the world" suddenly arose within him.
A previously unprecedented sense of pride welled up in his heart. With this kind of power, did he still need to care about worldly constraints? As long as he could become the strong one who sets the rules, what in this world couldn't he achieve?
"Little sister, rest assured, brother won't let you leave. If family objects, brother will persuade them. If anyone dares to speak against it, brother will extinguish them!"
In high spirits, Ye Fei couldn't help but let out a joyful roar, unintentionally utilizing the barbarian skills he had comprehended before. The sound was unexpectedly loud, likely audible to half of Watchtower City's residents.
After the roar, Ye Fei suddenly felt something was off about himself. Looking down, he realized he had grown significantly taller. His current stature was probably well over two meters, a change that left him pale with shock.
Hastily approaching a large glass panel on the tower top, he saw reflected in it a bald, burly man standing at a towering two meters and two, a face somewhat resembling his own but with a fierce paint that made him appear exceedingly rugged.
Gazing at the reflection of the beastly strong man in the mirror, Ye Fei was at a loss for words. Though his body was now incredibly strong, this image was just too difficult to accept, wasn't it?
"Change me back, I'd rather lose all my strength!" Ye Fei silently prayed in his heart. Suddenly feeling his body lightening, his form rapidly changed back to his original self, yet the explosive power within him remained.
